Cellblock and Kacho, why don't you both just compile all of the data that you can on dungeons and put it in one guide rather than having multiple posts on the same guide? Then you could also put it in an easy-to-read format, like how sN0wBaLL did, and it could even go on the site. I'm sure sN0w would be pleased to have help, too, as this game seems to have a lot of new concepts in it.

sN0wBaLL isn't actually here right now, won't be responding to PMs very quickly for some time, so don't expect a response for a couple weeks at a time. In the mean time, I'm pretty much taking care of this and other stuff for him. Er, and yeah, sN0w = he. Don't go by the avatar, go by the gender icon.

The permission thing is really not a big deal, and I have already given my say on what could be done. If anyone really, absolutely needs or wants to get to sN0w about this, go ahead and wait a few weeks. Anyway, until then, feel free to ask me.

Requirements

To successfully recruit a Pokemon, there are several requirements which have to be fulfilled. They are:

1. Corresponding Friend Areas

To recruit a Pokemon, you must first have its Friend Area so that the Pokemon will have a place to live in once recruited. For a list of Pokemon and their Friend Areas, refer to the Friend Area Listings found here

There are, however, some exceptions to this rule. Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos, Lugia, Celebi, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Deoxys and Celebi can be recruited without their Friend Areas. Instead, you automatically gain access to the Friend Area of each Pokemon when you recruit them.

You also get Magnemite from recruiting it, and not from getting it's friend area first

also, I think it is awesome you are writing a guide for this, when I first played Mystery Dungeon and I saw there wasn't a guide for it I was disapointed

Posting in here is fine; this is a guides submission/suggestion/discussion thread and not just a thread for me to post guides. Guides are utilised by TK for the site, and may receive updates along the way, so always refer back to the main site's guides. Furthermore, many graphics are added to the site guides but are not available in this thread.

However, do not ask questions in here about miscellaneous gameplay issues; that's what the Orre Generation (Other Games Discussion) forum section is for.

Anyway, thanks for the information provided by our various users. When/if I have the time I'll see what I can do with the data. Credit will be given to those who have helped, of course.

In the meantime, I'm back only for a short while and will be very busy, so I won't have time to add more updates yet. Keep your user-submitted guides flowing in, and meanwhile tiger10x will continue to manage this thread for me =p

I don't mean to spam but can some one write a guide for how to beat level 1 dungeons like at what level pokemon should be on certain floors stuff like that. These are the only dungeons giving me trouble.

well,
I think easy to level up Pokemon with good stats are good....
and some depends on luck such as finding a good tm in purity forest...
perhaps this question can be found in the Ore or misc. generation

Sure. that's a good idea and I'll work that into my plans. Currently, there are quite a few threads in Orre Generation Discussion section with tips for handling level 1 dungeons, so please use those in the meantime. I'll consolidate the information offered by our members and come up with a guide once I can find time.

Rescue Ranks and Points

In Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, your Rescue Team is ranked according to the total number of Rescue Points one has accumulated. As you perform more and more Rescue Missions, you will naturally gain more Rescue Points and advance in Rank. You start off the game with a Normal Rank.

As Alakazam points out, Lucario is a Rescue leader of legendary status, and all Rescue Teams yearn to emulate Lucario's achievements. By obtaining the Lucario Rank, you are considered to have reached the pinnacle of rescuing other Pokemon, so give yourself a congratulatory pat on the back.

In addition, in return for achieving the Lucario Rank, you will be given a Lucario Statue to be placed as a decoration in front of your Rescue Team Base.

Rescue Missions and Points

To gain Rescue Points, you will first have to complete Rescue Missions. Rescue Missions are graded according to their difficulty levels, and the higher the difficulty level, the more Points you are rewarded with when you complete the mission.

Here is a list of the different levels of difficulties and the amount of Rescue Points you will gain upon completion of these missions:

Status ailments and conditions have always existed in the main RPG games, and they range from paralysis and poisoning to entrapment by trapping moves. Likewise, the status conditions in Mystery Dungeon are also diverse. However, the main difference is that they have been expanded to include the effects of weather, natures, moves and items. As such, many more status conditions exist in Mystery Dungeon.

Status conditions are found not just on Pokemon, but also on dungeons, moves, etc. For instance, weather conditions such as Fog are conditions which affect the entire dungeon. "Physical Attack Move" and "Special Attack Move" are actually listed as "conditions" as well, as shown in the screenshot below. Note that words in blue denote status conditions.

Physical Attack Move and Special Attack Move are therefore examples of status conditions associated with moves. They denote whether each move is Physical or Special.

As for status conditions which actually afflict Pokemon directly, they are usually indicated by icons above the affected Pokemon. The text will also indicate to you when Pokemon, both wild ones near you as well as Pokemon in your party, gain any status conditions. For instance, the screenshots below shows a wild Vigoroth gaining the "sleepless" status, and a wild Vigoroth gaining the "Counter" status respectively.

You can also check on the status of your Pokemon by pressing Start, going to "Team", and selecting the Pokemon accordingly. Press left or right until you reach the "Status" menu of that Pokemon. That page will show you the status conditions affecting that Pokemon.

You can also select "Info" to find out more about each status condition.

It is important to understand what each status condition means in order for one to react correctly in accordance to different dungeon situations. As such, this guide will attempt to cover all the status conditions obtainable in the games, and what each of them means.

The Reward Statues

There are a total of four reward statues obtainable in Mystery Dungeon. They are awarded to you upon the completion of certain criteria. Once you have obtained a statue, you can find the decoration in the little garden just outside your Rescue Team Base.

This mini-guide will explain what you must achieve to obtain each statue. Wonder Mail codes have also been provided for missions that give statues as rewards.

The Bonsly Statue

This statue is obtained by completing all 17 type-based mazes in the Makuhita Dojo.

The Lucario Statue

This statue is obtained when you achieve the Rescue Team Rank of Lucario, which requires 15000 Rescue Points.

The Mime Jr Statue

This statue is obtained when you complete a special mission rated S or *, with the statue as the reward.

The Weavile Statue

This statue is obtained when you complete a special mission rated S or *, with the statue as the reward.

BAN ME PLEASE speculate that the recent natural disasters are to blame. However, some also blame Team Koffing's training in the area for the foul-smelling gas. The answer, apparently, is blowing in the wind.

It is the Ban Me Please really needed?

It is the automatic word filter of the forums at work, and not any mod. That's because the word censored in this case was "specia-lists", minus the hyphen. An unsuitable term can be found in that word, and hence the entire word has been censored off.
